The first step to being a woman is to kill a man.
I mean, not literally. Figuratively. You have to find a man whos figurative death is more consequential than any man's literal death.
This is unfortunate, because we're already defining ourselves in relationship to men. So skip the whole killing thing, violence is stupid anyway even if it's purely metaphorical.
The first step to being a woman is to go outside and smell the air. If the air is fresh and clean and you feel alive, then congrats! You probably don't need this guide because you're probably already a woman.
However, if there's something wrong with the air, ask yourself if the problem is you or your location. If you can see more concrete than living things, you might be too far away from the living world to be alive, and being alive is an important step to womanhood.
If the problem is your location, start walking! Women have been walking for millions of years and it's an incredibly powerful way to make the world more of a woman place.
Once you've walked far enough from whatever palace of man that you had previously found yourself trapped in, smell the air again. If you are being held in the living world's hand you will feel alive and enwoman'd.
However, if you are in the living world (either because you started there or because you walked there) and the air still won't do it, then the problem is you.
Ask yourself, how often do you think about men? The right amount is none. Once or twice a day is probably fine, but more than that and you might be obsessed with men and that is going to get between you and the air.
The best cure for thinking about men too much is to just stop it. Only be friends with women. If a man says something to you, pretend you didn't hear it and keep ignoring that sound until it goes away entirely. The de-man-ing process should always be carried out armed, since it can result in violence toward you, which is foolish.
Once de-man-ing is complete and you no longer hear or see men in your day to day life, you are on the right track. Go to the living world and smell that air. If you feel alive, you've done it!
However, maybe that didn't work. Or maybe you already were in such a free state and that wasn't your problem. In that case there is one solution that always works.
First, get a grapefruit. Then, tear it open from one end. You don't need a knife, actually, a knife would totally defeat the purpose of this excercise. No, just rip it open. Feel the juices running down your hands and dripping onto the ground. Find a section of the grapefruit and pull it taught, then peel away the clear inner skin. It will reveal grapefruitflesh which you can dig into with your teeth. Repeat until you've eaten the whole thing and left a mess of rind and peels.
Upon completing this ritual act, you will be free of any societal barriers between you and womanhood. Congrats!
